Do Professional Chefs Cook With Msg (monosodium Glutamate) When They Prepare Gourmet Food?

I know thаt ѕοmе restaurants add MSG tο supposedly enhance thе flavor οf thе food. Hаѕ thіѕ become a standard practice іn mοѕt places, οr ԁο fine dining establishments still јυѕt rely οn regular salt, herbs, аnԁ spices? I hаνе bееn reading аbουt thе health concerns over MSG.

The chefs I know would hang you by your toes if you dared ask them such a question! They won’t even use butter that has salt in it, let alone something as unnatural as MSG!
It is usually low-end fast-food type restaurants that are accused of adding things to food. Think McDonalds, some chinese places, etc.

No.
I’ve worked in commercial kitchens for 12 years and never used MSG.

I don’t, and never would, but in the asian supermarkets in my area I have seen MSG for sale in kg bags next to the salt, which worries me. A quality restaurant would not use MSG, we have enough fantastic produce to work with.

i have never used MSG in any kitchen or bakeshop I have worked in. MSG is mainly used in Asian cuisine.
